Peter Aman Announces Candidacy for Mayor of Atlanta

Mayorwatch 2017: Peter Aman Is In

Former Atlanta Chief Operating Officer Peter Aman has made it internet-official: he wants your vote in next year’s race to be Atlanta mayor.

Aman is a partner in the Atlanta office of Bain and Company, a consultancy, but he’s worked at City Hall before. During a pro bono stint during Mayor Shirley Franklin’s term, Aman led the team that authored what’s known as The Bain Report.

The group studied city operations and came up with a bunch of recommendations to the mayor and city council, including suggesting they try to create a realistic budget and stick to it. Mayor Kasim Reed tapped Aman as his COO during his first two years in office.
